A very successful all round playboat, an exhilarating and versatile whitewater performer.
As a rodeo boat the Fly is perfect for the most spectacular stunts. As a play boat the Fly can nimbly navigate the most challenging whitewater. The Fly is noteworthy for it's considerable speed and driving performance in such a small boat. Slalom style paddling is rewarded and classic river running blossoms with speed and creativity.

Prijon Fly Review
I have been paddeling for near enough a year and have done my 1,2 and three star. I got my Prijon Fly second hand and it has become the boat that i have enjoye using and i want to give it a good review.
Ive paddled this boat mostly in the surf around my local area and it works well.
The Prijon Fly is a good allrounder kayak. Its low volume and has abit of a sqirt style incorperated into its designe and the bow sinks slightly for someone that ways over 80 kg.
When surfing this boat is very fast and if you miss a wave you can chase it and drop in. The Fly doesnt need much to make it surf as it takes off on even the smallest wave. This boat is easy to roll and cantrol in the surf. I tis great for begginers and compitent paddlers
This boat is very good and i would reccomend it to anyone looking for a boat.

The all round best boat I've ever owned!
About myself
I've been paddling whitewater in the South Island of New Zealand for about 7 years. I an 183cm tall, weigh 70kg and have size 8.5 feet. I am comfortable in grade 3 water but generally don't do much playing other than surfing.
About the test environment
I have paddled the Fly since I was a beginner, in a wide variety of rivers in Canterbury, Murchison and the West Coast at wide variety of flows (from low to flooded).
Review
Great little river runner, stable, fast, manoeuvrable and very comfortable. No central pillar to cramp your legs. Good strong Prijon plastic. Surf nicely. It is also relatively light to carry at 15kg. Works best if you are under 80kg otherwise it tends to sub out a bit. Plenty of space for carrying safety gear etc too.
Conclusion
If I was only allowed to have one boat, this would be it. I just love it.
